— We’ve hammered UCLA fans for their lack of support and low attendance figures. The Bruins average announced attendance is 5,673 in the 13,800-seat arena through the first five home games.

Cal also received 17 points from freshman guard Jabari Bird and forward David Kravish added 15. The Golden Bears play Dayton today in a consolation game.

— Another impressive win for Oregon State, which rolled 101-81 over SIU Edwardsville. The Beavers are 3-0 with Devon Collier who was suspended from the season-opening loss.
